Ancestor's Life Events

NOTE: Response to inquiry on Ancestry.com -- "Yes, Andras Kovalcsik and Elizabeth Tomko had one son Andras, born 9 AUG 1889 there in Felso Kamence, but I am sorry to say, it seems that he was born out of wedlock. Andras Kovalcsik was an Lutheran and Elizabeth Tomko was Helvetian confession. They have very beautiful church there in Vysna Kamenica and that village is situated under mountains.
